What I learned

I learned a lot about the differences between images and background-images and how they impact the layout. I also used CSS variables for the first time using :root pseudo-class, so that it can be applied globally across your HTML document.

I learnt how to display items in the container in reverse order using flex-direction: row-reverse, which can be seen in the below snippet.

@media (min-width: 768px) {
	.container {
		display: flex;
		flex-direction: row-reverse;
		align-items: center;
		justify-content: center;
		padding: 0;
		text-align: left;
	}

Useful resources

• MDN - This helped me figure out how to control the order of content for medium devices. I really liked the simple diagrams for demonstrating how to order flex items.
